Wire Gauges, The gauge of a wire refers to its thickness or diameter. The lower the number, the thicker the wire.
Below is an explanation of the gauge measurements in metric terms.
14 gauge = 1.6mm
16 gauge = 1.3 mm
18 gauge = 1.0 mm
20 gauge = 0.8 mm
22 gauge = 0.65 mm
24 gauge = 0.5 mm
26 gauge = 0.4 mm
28 gauge = 0.3 mm
30 gauge = 0.25 mm
